About the Game

Vacant Kingdom is a bullet hell action-RPG. Its combat takes inspiration from Japanese arcade shooters, but the story and world are structured like an action-RPG. You'll explore different locations, make friends, solve puzzles, and acquire items. Bosses will put your skills to the test, but you'll only have to defeat each one once.



In Vacant Kingdom you explore a whimsical yet desolate land and try to rally its adrift people by solving their problems. On the way you'll meet a colourful cast of characters. Like a chef who only knows one recipe, a nefarious wizard who wields the dark power of obtuse riddles, and a robot who is programmed to teach the world about insects.
